Home Storage as Decor

7 Storage Ideas Worth Considering

Gone are the days when storage was bland, boring, and downright basic. Rather than hiding extra clothes and accessories in boxes or drawers, there are several ways you can transform your belongings into decor — without sacrificing style. Fit for any space, these seven ideas blend function with design, whether it be for your shoes, accessories, or kitchenware.

Some handbags are worth more than decor, so why hide them? We love how Jacey Duprie from Damsel in Dior used her home's console table to hold her favorite handbags. They match perfectly with her living room and can easily be swapped out for a fresh look.

A 2014 design trend, open shelving does require a bit of organization, but is worth trying if you're looking for a chic way to display kitchenware. One rule of thumb: keep it cohesive with minimal dinnerware; this is not a trend that favors an eclectic mix.

No need to hide your belongings behind closed doors. With an open bottom and glass doors, this cabinet offers the best of both worlds. The glass doors showcase accessories, while the bottom portion displays larger items and baskets for toys.

I really love these ideas! When a space is practical and pleasing to the eye you have the best of both worlds: chic fashion & home design! Here are some more ideas to display jewelry in an artful way: http://theartfulshopper.onsugar.com/Inspiration-How-Make-Artful-Jewelry-Displays-16456864
